I have discussed this to a great extent, and I'm convinced the arguments used to defend Reply-to munging have already been debunked multiple times. Yes, we all would have to accept whatever the list decides, but that doesn't mean they made the right choice based on the evidence. Anyway, the point I was trying to highlight is that even normal people know when to click 'Reply All', it's not hard, it's available in all clients, and people use it, because they have to. Once you accept that fact, it becomes much harder to defend the position that Reply-to should be munged, which goes against RFC 2822, and makes certain operations impossible. -- Felipe Contreras
